I believe Skunk #1 is what they cross a lot of things with now a days.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
You are absolutely right.
Skunk#1, northern light#5,Durban Poison and some others are very good parents for breeding,
For this simple reason i tried them later in my grow room , as i thought they are just good for breeding. but boy oh boy, I was wrong .
Every of these stable potential parents are a real enjoy to grow. Stability of skunk#1 and its resiliense is unbelivable. you can make a whole bunch of mistakes and at the end of the crop your skunk is there and full of heavy buds, with no need to be supported by any stick. not strechy to interfere with neighbour plants. not picky for light or nuts. easy to manicure ( lets say it is self manicured) , just remove fan leaves and its ready.
I asked the guy in our local seed shop( he ia old enough with some yellowish mustach to believe he knows about cannabis!!!!). I asked what do you recommend for Long term grow?
he said You gotta try skunk#1( Dutch passion)and he was right on the spot.
As long as I have my skunk#1 in my collection I dont smoke others very much.( and believe me I have had a good collection of different weeds recently)
